The focus of this unit is on identifying living and nonliving objects. It will bring
recognition to the differences and similarities among them. It is designed to introduce the
concepts of the variations within plants and animals. Students determine major characteristics of living and nonliving things. Students relate the structure of living things by comparing the human body to the structure of a tree as well as to nonliving objects. Students become aware that there are many different variations among living things and all of them need food (energy), water, air, and shelter (habitat) to survive and grow.
